What are you working on? Teaching yourself? In school for?

Still grinding Performance (Guitar) and I just started Performance (Sing) again, here.

I'm grinding Illusion to hide that I wanna fukken die

Honestly though I'm not grinding much

Minor mechanics keeping an old tractor running and using it so I guess that counts?

I'm now a beekeeper, I don't have a hive of my own yet though but I help at the association's apiary.

I'm still trying to get enough coding experience that a proper coding company will make use of my slight autism, turns out this crappy hybrid support/dev role I took on doesn't really count for much because VBA is that shit and outdated.

That's fine. Go for it. Rosetta Stone is a really good resource you can just pirate that teaches languages very intuitively.

in my experience it's pretty bad at most things EXCEPT pronunciation, and actually is probably one of the better tools if you wanna know how to properly pronounce words. would definitely recommend it if only for that (unless you only plan on just reading the language)

Working on some creative writing stuff as well around world-building and character design. Should make my PnP a bit more fun in the future.

because it's already the most popular one. it's used in grade schools and shit, most people know about it so that's what they'll immediately recommend
it definitely has value though, i'm not saying it doesn't, but if you really really want to learn don't rely on it alone

These beginner's breathing exercises are giving me a lot of work. I need to quit smoking cigarettes and start running/cycling/skating/whatever again.

I'm trying to learn to control my breathing/diaphram for vocals by controlling my breathing so that I inhale for 8 seconds, then exhale for 8 seconds. After that, go for 16 seconds of exhalation. Then 24, then 32.

Another exercise my teacher has me doing is holding my index finger up arms length away and making sharp exhalations like I'm trying to blow out a candle on my fingertip. Hard enough so that you can feel it with your finger.

Bleg my stamina has gone too shit.

if i had to oput the feeling of a bridge into proper retrospective it would be like sitting under a thought and that thought is revelationary.
i would recommend it to anyone who has to sort out their life which is an important skill not held by many b/c too mahy people are wasting their fukkn skills into retard thing like music
music not even alouwed
